             Summary: Wildcard matching in hostname verifier incorrect
                 Key: HTTPCLIENT-1255
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HTTPCLIENT-1255
             Project: HttpComponents HttpClient
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: HttpClient
    Affects Versions: Snapshot
            Reporter: Ingo Bauersachs


According to the findings of [1], the hostname verification in 
AbstractVerifier.java is not correct. The wildcard prefix extraction uses the 
dimension of the dotted parts array instead of the length of the first part 
itself.

String prefix = parts[0].substring(0, parts.length-2); // e.g. server
should be
String prefix = parts[0].substring(0, parts[0].length()-1); // e.g. server

 as of Revision 1402320)
